That's pretty realistic. A while back, I talked to a guy who worked at SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator). He said once he walked by their giant magnets, and it erased his credit cards.
But that's still not as cool as when scientists levitated frogs with magnets. Since virtually all organisms have small traces of iron in them...all that's needed is an extremely powerful magnet to levitate 'em.
Heh, it makes me wonder if this magnet is strong enough not to just rip metal objects out of your pockets, but to *attract you* into it. =)
2) The Taliban are very conservative, and dont give women any decency or human rights.
3) Utah is one step away from not allowing women to become doctors, and two steps away to demeaning them with clothing like Burquas.
As a Utahn, I take greate offense to your narrowminded statement. Women in Utah do very well. Women in Utah have consistently averaged some of the highest test scores in the nation. Women in Utah have some of the highest rates of post high school education, as well as obtaining a degree. Utah was among the first states to allow women the right to vote. And all this while we were the most conservative state in the nation.
Next time, show some tolerance by not placing all conservatives in the same category as the Taliban. Because by your logic, I could decude the following.
1. You are liberal
2. Columbian left-wing guerillas are liberal. They frequenty ambush innocent villages, killing many, kidnapping some of the remaining survivors, and torturing them until they die.
3. If you and liberals like you were given power, you would torture many people to death and create anarchy.
As for staying on topic...I side with...umm... lets pick Clean Flicks.
Ever heard that Bananas are a great source of Potassium? Well, that means bananas are also radioactive. Since bananas have has high levels of Potassiam, and since one of Potassium's common isotopes is radioactive...Bingo! Radioactive fruit!
I didn't believe it at first, until we left our physics class, ran down to the cafeteria, grabbed a banana, peeled it, and stuck a gieger counter to it. Sure enough, it had double the amount of normal background radiation!
Although its only alpha radiation (the least harmful of the three), its still fun to tell environmentalists that they get nuked more every year from bananas than they do from nuclear power plants.
The only change I've noticed are articles on news sites proclaiming:
"Freedom of expression being oppressed! War on Terrorism to blame!"
My life is great. I haven't noticed a bit of difference. Nobody I've talked to has ever complained about any freedom of speech problems. I completely forget that its an issue until I visit yahoo.com only to see its one of the for "major" news stories of the day.
My favorite part of the article contained this sentence.
"Consider the gap between two plane mirrors as a cavity (figure 1)."
You look directly over to the right at figure 1, and all you see is a picture of some droopy, slow-witted looking scientist.
Poor guy, the sentence describing his head uses the words "gap" and "cavity". Chalk that one up for one of the worst editorial mistakes ever.
Having been in your situtation, trying to carry everyone elses weight, I've learned a tough lesson. The longer you do their work, the longer you delay the day that everyone gets screwed over. Then, FINALLY, the coders, managers, etc, all learn their lessons. Bite the bullet now, and just stick to your coding. When everyone's asking why the final product isn't done, your bosses will discover a real problem, and they'll do something to fix it. They'll either fire the programmers who didn't pul l their weight, or they'll hire new programmers, or whatever. Either way, with your current team, that terrible day will come. Get it over with now. If you don't, your bosses will continue worrying about other areas of the business, knowing full well that you're constantly maintaining and carrying the weight of a "smaller" problem.
Nono, its true 3d. I saw an early prototype of it on the Discovery channel. Its hard to describe, but its sorta like how Disneyland makes their Haunted House ghosts appear 3d. They project images off a mirror and through a sheet of glass, and so it gives a true 3d effect where anybody can view an object from any angle all at the same time.
What the hell does China's pollution of a river and global warming have to do with each other? Yes China sucks at polluting, but don't blame their off-color rivers on every environmental problem.
You say the greenhouse effect is not a myth? Based on what...Al Gore's book? Boy was his book the worst example of citing statistics and scientific evidence that I've ever seen.
I thought it was funny that some of the first internation councils on climatology included many dozens of people, but not one was a climatologist! But thats ok, because they made up for it by including 4 crazy environmentalists like you in that meeting who data all facts and jump to their own conclusions.
By the way, people like you do have a home...PETA, or the Sierra Club why not go there to support your close minded (enlightened) views.

I seems 9/11 has only changed journalist's fears.

Heh, I did the same. Too bad yahoo email address are immune to mass emailing. I had my email server fired up and ready to unload.
